The Emirates NBA Cup in-season tournament kicks off their second day of  games today with some top matchups featuring the Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers vs Orlando Magic.

The biggest news on today's slate is that Nikola Jokic has been ruled out for the Denver Nuggets in their contest against the New Orleans Pelicans this evening. We also see the return of Trae Young to the Hawks lineup in Atlanta's contest against the Washington Wizards.

That said, we have some awesome projections to target for our Underdog NBA entries here today featuring Gradey Dick, Amen Thompson and Naz Reid in an entry with a 4.5x payout multiplier.

Gradey Dick NBA Underdog Pick: Higher Than 19.5 Points

The Raptors second-year guard has stepped up his game in a major way this season while Toronto deals with key injuries to Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley this season.

In fact, in the six games this season where both Barnes and Quickley were out of the lineup Dick is averaging 24.7 points per game and that number is impacted by the one game where he scored just seven points. In the other five games he never scored less than 22 points while cracking 30 points three times.

In those six games Dick has a 27.7% usage rate, second on the team to RJ Barrett while shooting 44% from the floor.

This matchup against the Pistons should be a favorable one and it's the reason we like him to finish with more than 19.5 points this evening.

 

 

 

Amen Thompson NBA Underdog Pick: Higher Than 5.5 Rebounds

At some point a player just forces his way into more playing time and that is pretty much what we have going on here in Houston with both Amen Thompson and to a lesser extent Tari Eason as well.

For today we are focusing on Thompson and his rebound projection which is set at 5.5 rebounds.

Thompson has finished with at least six rebounds in six of the last seven games. 

Thompson is averaging a little over 25 minutes a game now on the season thanks to his recent increase in playing time but if you want to knock that minutes average down to 23 minutes we've seen Thompson finish with at least six rebounds in all seven games this year.

I'd expect the upward trend of his playing time to continue and therefore we need to hit this line while we can.

 

 

 

Naz Reid NBA Underdog Pick: Higher Than 1.5 3PM

Yeah, we are back and we going right back to the well. Sure, this is the ALT line as Underdog has finally set him to 2.5 three-pointers made but we have the two picks to pair this with so with the lesser odds why not go for a play that has been ever so kind to us over the last few days?

Reid as finished with at least two three-pointers now in four straight, five of six and nine of the 12 games overall this season.
